When he wanted to be. Increasingly in his last 18 months or so, he couldn't be bothered and wanted the ball served up to him on a silver plate. Such a waste of a real talent and a tremendous engine - this after he had had the cheek to get naffed off by the LFC board wanting to sell his sorry @rse.

Pretty much JJ. He really soured what was a great love affair with the fans during those last two years.
He was a great player though, even if his goal return and end product was often inconsistent, he was definitely a bit of a maverick, some of the things he used to do were amazing. Does anyone remember his volley from just beyond the halfway line against Spurs (I think it was Spurs)? A couple of inches away from pissing all over Beckham's effort.
